BGS 156, Long basal rachis internode 2, lbi2
Stock number: BGS 156
Locus name: Long basal rachis internode 2
Locus symbol: lbi2
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Long basal rachis internode 2 = lb2 (5).
Erectoides-i = ert-i (6, 7, 8).
Erectoides-i = ert-i (6, 7, 8).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (4, 5).
Located in chromosome 4HS (1, 5, 8); lbi2.b is less than 12.8 cM proximal from the Kap1 (Hooded lemma 1) locus (5, 7); ert-i.27 is about 2.4 cM proximal from the Kap1 locus (6); lbi2.b is about 18.5 cM proximal from the glf1 (glossy leaf 1) locus (9); lbi2.b is associated with SNP marker 1_1180 (position 58.13 cM) in 4H bin 05 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW472 (1); ert-i.27 is associated with SNP markers 2_1374 to 2_1122 (positions 41.13 to 47.80 cM) in 4H bins 04 to 05 of the Bowman backcross-derived line BW311 (1), likely in 4H bin 05.

Description:
Mutant plants in the cultivar Montcalm have a marked elongation and weakness of the basal rachis internode of the spike. This region may be 10 to 13 cm long in some tillers. The spike hangs vertically downward from the collar on emergence from the sheath and is often broken off in this region by the wind. Even when not broken off, spikes have a high degree of sterility and contain poorly filled grain. Plants show delayed maturity (5). The ert-i mutants in Bonus have an erect, semi-compact (rachis internode length ranging from 2.3 to 2.9 mm) spike, an elongated (2 to 4 cm) basal rachis internode, and reduced plant height (3/4 normal) (8). Removal of modifiers from the Bonus and Montcalm mutants by backcrossing produced Bowman backcross-derived lines for ert-i.27, BW311, and lbi2.b, BW472, which had similar phenotypes (2, 3). Plants of the BW311 and BW472 lines were 15 to 20% shorter, had awns that were 30 to 40% shorter, and had shorter rachis internodes, 3.3 vs 4.5 mm. The number of kernels per spike was 4 to 6 fewer. Kernels of BW311 and BW472 were smaller and weighed less, 45 vs. 58 mg, than those of Bowman. Grain yields of BW311 and BW472 were 1/2 to 3/4 of those for Bowman (3).
